Answer:Ricardo works part time at a local computer store. One day, his manager approaches him about moving from cashier to floor supervisor. Ricardo is excited because the promotion comes with a raise; however, the extra work hours would take away from time with his friends. In the end, he decides to take the promotion. Ricardo's opportunity cost is choosing the promotion over time with his friends.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When there are many options in front of us.Out of these options when we select one we have to forgo the other options. While we forgo other options we have to bear the loss. So the opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option that we have given up.
if Ricardo works extra hours than he will not get time to spend with his friends so this is his loss which is arising due to the benefit he is getting from promotion. This loss will be his opportunity cost.
Total= $159,552
Giving the following information:
The company has budgeted to sell 15,600 Debs in February.
Sales commissions $ 0.96*15,600= 14,976
Shipping $ 1.46 *15,600= 22,776
Executive salaries $ 60,600
Depreciation on office equipment $ 20,600
Other $ 40,600

Answer:
Answer Illustration : Opportunity Cost of producing Wine is lesser in France, Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters is lesser in Tunisia. So, France has comparative advantage in Wine, Tunisia in Sweater.
Explanation:
Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.
Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters & Wine in France & Tunisia are quantities of other goods (Sweaters or Tunias) sacrifised while choosing either. Sweater Opportunity Cost - Wines sacrifised, Wine Opportunity Cost - Sweaters sacrifised.
The country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce it with relatively less opportunity cost (in terms of other good sacrifised) than other country.
Ex : Production Possibilities
Wine Sweater Trade off (Wine :Sweater)
France 10 5 1:0.5 or 2:1
Tunisia 8 24 1:3 or 0.33:1
- France produces Wine with lesser opportunity cost (sweater sacrifised) than Tunisia [0.5 sweater < 3 sweaters] ; it has comparative advantage in Wine.
- Tunisia produces Sweater with less opportunity cost (wine sacrifised) than France [ 0.33 wine < 2 wines] ; it has comparative advantage in Tunisia
Answer:
A. 0.3204 B. $14.669
Explanation:
Mean = 8.9 SD = 4.5
Required probability = P (X >/= 550/50)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - P[(X - mean/SD) < (11 - mean)/SD]
= 1 - P(Z < (11-8.9)/4.5)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - P(Z < 0.4666667)
Using Excel NORMDIST(0.4666667,0,1,1)
P(X>/=11) = 1 - 0.6796 = 0.3204
The probability that she will earn at least $550 = 0.3204
b. P
(
X > x
) = 0.10
1 − P
(
X − mean)/SD ≤ (x − mean)
/SD = 0.10
P
(
Z ≤ z
) = 0.90
Where,
z = (x − mean
)/SD
Excel function for the value of z:
=NORMSINV(0.9)
=1.282
Hence (x - mean)/SD = 1.282
= (x - 8.9)/4.5 = 1.282
x = (1.282*4.5) + 8.9
x = 14.669
He earns $14.669 on the best 10% of such weekends.
